When you’re planning your Anna Maria Island getaway, you are likely wondering what to pack and what activities to plan for. To answer these questions, we have to look at the weather. Average temperatures and rain chances can impact what you need to bring with you as well as what you can expect to experience on Anna Maria Island.
Here, we break down what you can expect when you stay in one of our Anna Maria Island rentals, no matter the season.
Spring
Spring is an incredibly pleasant time for the weather in Anna Maria Island. During the summer months of March, April, and May, high temperatures range around 80 degrees, though that number can be higher towards the end of May. As for lows, expect temperatures throughout the 60s. You may need a light jacket in the evening, but nothing more than that.
Early spring is still in the dry season for Anna Maria Island, but May brings in the wet season. March and April typically see about 3 inches of rain per month, but that number quickly rises into May. Plan accordingly by packing a raincoat or an extra umbrella. Lastly, be sure to bring your ball cap if you plan to catch a Spring Training game in Florida!
Summer
As you probably expect from a Florida getaway, the weather in Anna Maria Island during summer is hot. During June, July, and August, it’s not uncommon to see high temperatures in the low to mid-90s. Low temperatures stay in the mid-70s, so even during the evening, you’ll be able to enjoy outdoor activities or go for a swim.
As for rain, summer is in the middle of the wet season. Each month averages between 7 and 9 inches of rain, but luckily, most of these storms come in the form of afternoon showers. This has multiple benefits including cooling off the island for a relaxing evening as well as giving you the chance to explore the abundant indoor attractions around you. This time of day also serves as a great opportunity to enjoy waterfront dining in Anna Maria Island and watch the showers from indoors.
Fall
Things start to cool off again in the fall months of September, October, and November. Expect high temperatures in the mid-80s to mid-90s and low temperatures in the low-to-mid 70s. It’s slightly warmer than in the spring but certainly much more preferable to the sweltering days of the summer.
The middle of fall marks the end of the wet season in Anna Maria Island, so if you are planning to travel in September, expect rain. The monthly average is 8 inches. However, if you’re coming in October or November, the chances of rain will drop drastically to 2-3 inches per month.
Winter
Finally, winters in Anna Maria Island are mild but certainly not as cold as other travel destinations. The island is actually surprisingly busy around the Christmas holiday! If you visit during December, January, and February, expect average highs in the mid to high 70s and average lows in the mid-to-high 50s. This is definitely the season where you want to pack a jacket and a pair of jeans or two.
